As October ends, WestsideMed encourages our community to keep breast health top of mind beyond Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Awareness should continue all year long, because education, prevention, and early detection save lives. Our urgent and primary care providers are here to guide you in understanding your risks, recognizing symptoms, and prioritizing regular checkups.
At WestsideMed, our urgent and primary care team focuses on preventive health and early detection through education and clinical support. We don’t perform mammograms on-site, but our urgent and primary care providers can help identify when screening is needed and refer you to trusted imaging centers. Through our urgent and primary care services, we help patients understand what changes to look for, including new lumps, skin dimpling, nipple discharge, or discomfort, and ensure that any concerns are addressed promptly.
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women, and staying informed is key. During your urgent and primary care visits, you can discuss your family history, personal risk factors, and lifestyle habits that impact your overall health. Our urgent and primary care professionals emphasize that prevention extends beyond screenings; maintaining a balanced diet, staying active, and attending regular checkups all contribute to long-term wellness.
As Breast Cancer Awareness Month wraps up, let’s remember that awareness and action go hand in hand. WestsideMed’s urgent and primary care team is here year-round to support your journey toward better health, answer questions, and provide compassionate care. Don’t wait for a reminder, take the initiative to schedule your next urgent and primary care appointment and stay proactive about your well-being today and every day.
